Animal/Livestock Husbandry and Production
Also known as: Agricultural Animal Production, Livestock Management
A program that prepares individuals to select, breed, care for, process, and market livestock and small farm animals. Includes instruction in basic animal science, animal nutrition, and animal health as applied to various species and breeds; design and operation of housing, feeding, and processing
You start your week with an 8 AM "Introduction to Animal Science" lecture, covering basic species identification and digestive systems. Later, in the lab, you meticulously use a microscope to identify different feed components in a sample, a foundational skill for animal nutrition. You meet your Farm Management group to brainstorm ideas for your sustainable production presentation. Dinner with friends helps you unwind before diving into reading "Principles of Animal Feeding," preparing for tomorrow's class.
